Think....
It really seems like you're getting flustered. I never made an argument for or against whether our anti-trust laws have been weakened or not. I'm also disappointed you do not want to answer my question.

I have some interesting studies and statistics, and legislation you might be interested in reading...if you're really interested in discussing this with me, rather than talking at me.

I'm no expert, so with just a little internet research I've already found a lot of information in regards to your questions. I just have to wonder, if you really care about these issues (they are valid), you would've done this research yourself. If you just care about being more "right" than me then we can end this conversation right now.

The Republicans controlled the latest spending bill. Did a bang up job didn't they? Yeah, I know, they aren't Conservatives......You never did answer who it is we are supposed to vote for.

The old man could never win a general election in this country.

Time for you misguided Bernie backers to let go of your little fantasy and get behind the supremely-qualified wife of the iconic Bubba.

Get a grip ... we simply can't afford another incompetent republican administration in the White House...

Listing how laws were enforced decades ago dont show that they are no longer in existence today

Where does Bernie Sanders stand on the issues? – FeelTheBern.org
Thats not an answer either.. In fact thats the biggets copout ever..

Again how is Bernie proposing that we go after and legislate companies NO LONGER within our jurisdiction because they relocate?

If you havent made an argument for or against it, which I admit is true, then your posting really holds nothing of substance, which I also concede is the truth.

I mean really, how can someone have a discussion with someone else who cant really tell others how they feel about whats being discussed?

Are you arguing they are? Clearly your citing the spending bill as evidence otherwise, right?

There isnt a conservative running that has a chance of winning, hell I just started a thread citing he similarities between Trump and Sanders for gods sake. Both of them are protectionists after all, just different strategies..

Bernie has openly stated he's a socialist. So, why do you support someone who openly states he will raise your taxes and expand government?
Hate to break it to you, but we haven't had anything even CLOSE to capitalism since, oh the 1880's or so, either. We now have a ton of regulations for the common person, while large corporations have been systematically been deregulated for the last 40 years or so. This funnels trillions of dollars to a small group of people.

For example, try, just try to create and sell a new software program these days which generates a large amount of income. Thanks to regulations today, I guarantee you that tons of lawyers will descend on you ready to take that income away from you. This type of garbage has been facilitated by the corrupt politicians which permeate the government today.

I have sat and watched tons of businesses in the rust belt just dissolve and go away...

Socialist Smotialist, I just want a candidate who seems to give a crap about the average person today and has a track record to back it up with. We drank the "greed is good" Koolaid and look where the US is today.

LMFAO, how many <bleeping> times have we been through "vote for the least worst" and then watch the person you voted for act and vote horribly and against everything you stood for? Haven't we had enough of this idea already? For the love of everything holy, if people can't learn from their mistakes made over and over and over again, we get the crap we deserve. Heck, even amoebas can learn from getting bad stimulus over time so why can't human beings?
